My Favourite Pastime

Everybody, well almost everybody, knows my passion for reading. I love to read good books. And i think it's about time that i share with people what are some of my favourite readings.



No, no... It's not the newspaper unfortunately. He~.. I know, i should and must read the newspaper. But it's just that sometimes i feel the news are all the same. And i'm actually very afraid of the real world... I don't think so i can face with all these chaotic happenings around us... It's bad, i know. Well maybe i will try and really concentrate reading the newspaper. Maybe, insyaAllah... He~

Well, for the past 5 months, i have managed to read 5 books. It's not like 1 month a book. It really depends on my time to read it. For me, reading is like something that can really relax my mind...

I've never actually buy any books before this. All these while, it's either my dad's, aunt's, cousin's or friends'. Thisa, my ex manager when i was working at Parker Randall, was the one who taught me to buy my own book! I really thank her for that.

My first books were bought on discounts. Buy two and get the 3rd book for free! Hehe, yeah, i'm a freebies person... Well, who doesn't enjoy free gits???  They were by Amy Tan, Liz Tucillo and Mende Nazer. Bought them at Borders. I love Borders!

Then i bought a book by Dan Wells, which is a very interesting book. And then for my farewell, Thisa actually bought me a book, by Tasmina Perry, a book that has many complots in it.. Whew~

These are some of the books that i've read and there are actually more books that i've read since i was in my primary... Maybe i am a book nerd. But hey, i just love to read good stories!

I hope people can find that reading is also a very beautiful hobby. Because through reading, i can dive into their world and combine them together in my own tiny world...

~Unconditional L.O.V.E~

People said that love is unconditional. But do they really know what does that mean? I mean what do you mean by unconditional anyway?


U may open up a dictionary and they will tell u it's complete; not subject to any conditions. Could i put it as no rules & regulations then? That people can love freely, without any worries? Maybe, and maybe not.

But i do understand that when you do love someone, you just want to give all of you to that special someone. It could be your families and your friends. But at the moment, i would like to express more into 'that' special someone.


U can't really predict the future. Because if you plan to manage it properly, it would turn up the other way. Fate tends to play with our life. But don't take it the wrong way. It is not to ruin you, but i think it is to make you more stronger by the day.


I have learned my lessons and i can say that i am definitely not going to expect anything from my next love experience. I am just going to let it happen and have fun with it. Life is so short to be mourning over something that is not worth it... 


But do bear in our mind that sometimes even love needs some rules & regulations in order to keep the relationship stronger and lasts forever. But then again, nothing lasts forever...


U just have to trust yourself and have faith in your relationship.

And most importantly, have fun experiencing it!

At least this is what i have in mind about love, in my own world...

Oh Tok Saya...

(Maaf kawan-kawan, kadang kala ela memang akan taip melayu. Takut kalau asyik english karang, lupa daratan pula. Hehe. Dan mungkin juga akan cuba guna melayu baku... Wah gitu!..)

Pagi tadi ela dikejutkan oleh Aunt Abg sebab dia tiba-tiba cakap tok mungkin kena hantar pergi hospital. Biasanya bila Uncle Ajis datang bilik buka pintu baru ela bangun, tau! Tapi pagi tadi dengan pantas terus bangun dari katil pergi tengok tok kat bilik dia... Fuh... Ingat dah pengsan ke apa. Rupanya tangan dia makin sakit dan dia tak boleh tidur semalaman... Kesian tok. Da dua malam la kiranya tuh..

Lepas tu terus telefon bak (uncle i ye..) bagitau pasal tok. Bak sampai dalam 20 minit kemudian dan kami (bak, tok, ela dan pemandu bak) terus la pergi ke Hospital Sultanah Aminah (yang sepatutnya dekat sangat dengan rumah, tapi sebab jalan da banyak sangat tukar, ambil masa 10 minit juga la... Hm... pembangunan konon...).

Orang memang ramai. Ramai sangat. Tok diperiksa oleh Doktor Jasmi. Muda orangnye dan sangat baik. Pandai la layan tok tu... Tok kena pergi x-ray tangan dia sebab doktor takut ada patah atau retak sebab tok sakit sangat nak gerak kan tangannya. 

Lepas pergi x-ray, balik semula bilik Doktor Jasmi... Syukur... tiada tulang yang patah atau retak. Tapi doktor balut juga tangan tok, supaya tak banyak gerak. Dan nampaknya tok agak selesa dengan balutan tu. Syukur la kan? 

Dan semestinya mestilah ada penambahan 'gula-gula' baru untuk tok. Doktor bagi koyok juga untuk tampal dekat lutut tok kalau sakit sangat. Ada ubat kalsium, panadol, dan pembalut untuk ditukar kalau da kotor sangat kot.


Kadang-kadang kesian juga tengok tok tu sampai banyak sangat pil yang nak ditelannya... Tapi itu lah hakikat hidup kan? Makin kita tua makin banyak aspek yang perlu kita jaga. Dan tua tu bukan bermaksud bila umur mencapai 80 tahun ke atas, ye... Bagi ela, sekarang ni pun ela da rasa tua. Bila kita sudah mula fikirkan tanggungjawab terhadap diri sendiri dan juga orang yang ada disekeliling. 


Kesihatan, kewangan, akal fikiran, tenaga dan juga hati. Banyak yang kita kena fikirkan. Kadang-kadang malu dengan tok. Umur dia 86 tahun tapi masih lagi bergerak aktif sampai sakit tangannya. Aunt Abg pula umur da 63 tahun dan masih bergerak aktif bila turun ke ofisnya (dapur la tu...). Aunt Lok? Lagi la toksah cakap... Umur 59 tahun dan masih lagi aktif bekerja sebagai GM Hanisah dan Fauziana dan tidak pernah berehat. Uncle Ajis, 53 tahun. Walaupun dia mungkin tidak seaktif orang lain, dia tetap akan menolong orang-orang di rumah ni. Selagi masih ada tenaga, tok, aunt abg, aunt lok dan uncle ajis tidak akan duduk berdiam diri...

Ela? Apa yang ela da capai dalam hidup ni? Masih belum ada apa-apa... Dan ela sudah pun berumur 25 tahun... Dan yang paling mengusik kesedaran adalah tahun 2010 bakal menjelma tidak lama lagi...  

Dalam dunia ela sendiri ni, ela sedang mencuba dan berusaha untuk mencari diri sendiri...

The Gift of Peace ~Life~



The theatre of life has its own script. Each instant is unique. Live each moment as if it were the most important of all. You will enjoy and feel peace.
Discover your spirit and the treasure within.
Your spirit is full of peace.
Your spirit is peace...



Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always think the same, you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person.
Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of peace around you...


~Brahma Kumaris~

Man, i really must change my attitude...

Freshies!!!!

Yeap, that's who i am at at the moment! Hehe... I think blogging can really help me ease my mind. It's like a therapy for me. Usually people go shopping, but i am unemployed at the moment... So, duh??? Or sometimes people eat. But i need to have a strict diet discipline!!!! ~sigh~ why me???

Anyway, i think i know what is it that i can talk about in my blog! ~aha!~ Quick thinking right?... Like what my ex-manager always said; BRILLIANT! hm, jason jason jason...

I think i can review people about my favourite books! Yeah,... that should be it. Or maybe i can share about my favourite quotes... Hm... i have like quotes from Brahma Kumaris (it's like a gift of peace) and also quotes from various aspiring people (a small scrap book compiled by my dear friend, Muzibiha. Thanx girl!).

I hope by sharing information about my recent readings, people can see and know what i like. And maybe i'll get feedback about other interesting books! ~aha!~ i can add it up to my lists then.


And also, i really hope those quotes that i'm going to share with can help people to find their inner strenght and beauty. It might not be the best one, but it's the least that i can do to help for a more peaceful thoughts...

Until then, with warm regards to the world!

Hello to the world...



Hello world... I guess it's time for me to explore this blogging thingy huh.. People always said to me that it's easy to start a blog. No doubt bout that. But, to continue keeping the blogs alive is quite a challenge for me.

Yeah it's easy to create, but to give it an identity is quite difficult. There's the template that we have to choose, and for me, choosing a template is like choosing a personality. And at the moment, i think i would go for the simplest that i could find. The minima dark... Hehe, yeah, i even know the name of the template that i chose...

I don't expect people to follow my blog cos there is nothing fun about my life anyway... But i think maybe this can be a healthy way to express my feelings and thoughts that can be reached by my dear friends, or anyone that might be interested to share anything with me.

To tell the truth, i wasn't really interested in the idea of blogging. But something happened to my life recently and i had this urged to create my own blog so that i can express everything instead of mourning by myself... It's eating me alive. And i think blogging is working it's magic on me by now! I feel more relieved to be able to say it all in here.

So much of a welcome speech for myself, huh? Hehe. I hope i can be consistent in blogging. So, yeah... Welcome; Suhaila-in my own world!
